In this powerful episode, we sit down with Karl Clauson, and trust us—you’ll want to lean in for this one. Karl’s story is raw, honest, and deeply hopeful. From hitting rock bottom in a haze of cocaine and alcohol to experiencing a radical transformation through Christ, his testimony reminds us that true healing starts with true surrender. But it doesn’t stop at his story. Karl drops truth bombs about how so many of us are living with what he calls the “hallucination of salvation” —busy with spiritual activity but missing authentic transformation. Whether you've been in church your whole life or are just starting to explore your faith, this message will resonate with you. Together, we unpack what it truly  means to “kill sin”—not through willpower, but by walking in humility, staying close to Jesus, and relying on the Holy Spirit. You’ll learn why healing is impossible without addressing sin, how to identify what’s truly holding you back, and practical ways to step into the freedom God has already made available. If you're craving spiritual breakthrough, tired of the shame cycle, or just ready to be real with God, this conversation will encourage and equip you. Healing begins where honesty and the Holy Spirit meet.
